Updates on many projects

Open for business and I have a feeling here to stay. In a D Magazine interview, Tyler Haney was vague about the location referring to the Knox location as a temp space or pop-up. Perhaps when the Chili’s space is finished out, OV Dallas may move there?

Major changes coming along. This building has been completely renewed. The only thing remaining from the old building is the outer brick facade and even that has been changed significantly. Their site says opening Dec 2016 and they are accepting applications.

Originally opened in 1974, Chelsea Corner will soon again appear in it’s original location on the iconic corner of McKinney Avenue & Monticello. This historic building was first constructed in 1926 and is in the process of a complete ground up restoration.

With a focus on its rich heritage and our intent to establish an iconic and long-lasting Dallas landmark – the Chelsea Corner will be something truly special within Dallas’s flourishing Knox Neighborhood.

This December we will invite friends new and old to join us while savoring incredible fare from famed Chef Kent Rathbun, watching sports on our 15+ screens, and enjoying weekend brunches on our (2) garden patios.

Knox Heights

Knox Heights has seen some significant progress over the months and the website advertises November move-ins…but I’m not so sure. The retail front is coming along and we know of one tenant which will be opening a new location. The Zen Gym will be adding a location at Knox Heights http://thezengym.com It appears to be a high end yoga and meditation studio.

Katy Trail Apartments

The Katy Trail Terrace apartments north of Knox on Cole Ave appear to be making significant progress. 5 stories above ground level…all concrete. This is going to be a nice building. It is significant because it is the first of the new generation of buildings around Knox which are mid-rise and taller concrete construction (instead of cheaper wood construction atop a concrete podium). Taller, higher quality, more expensive construction which will soon be the norm.

The McKenzie

Construction on this building is well under way. At 22 stories, this building will be under construction for quite some time. Early 2018 is the estimated completion date and it should be well worth the wait. This will be one of the nicest buildings in the area and I expect rents will be around $4 per foot.
